I am a huge fan of the French version, "Call My Agent". No one can do sexy and free and crazy chaos, like the French. I watched about half of the British version, 10 Percent, which was just shockingly boring and canceled after the one season. It did not capture the essence of the French version. Now I am almost done with the Korean version. The problem with the Korean version, it feels a bit buttoned up and formal. The daughter, who wants to be an agent, is so timid and subservient. There is no way she would become an agent. She causes so much trouble by her sheer naivety and some truly bad choices. I found her hard to root for. Which was the opposite in the French version. Director/President Ma was okay for casting and the only other character I feel has the fire like the original is the young female agent. In the French version, she was a lesbian, and in this version they make her a bit of a man eater to start out, but she evolves. This pretty much is remake for the most part of the original. It is strange to watch a show you already watched from a different country be made with the almost exactly the same scripts in other countries. There were some things they changed up, but nothing too major. I am enjoying it and finding it interesting to watch with the cultural differences. It feels like it hits it's stride more after episode 6. It loosens up a bit. There is some actual kissing, which I have not seen in many Korean shows I watch. If you enjoy the plot, I highly recommend you watch "Call My Agent" on a streaming service. It has 4 great seasons. I am not sure if Netflix offers it with Korean subtitles. Hopefully they do. This Korean version has been renewed for a 2nd season. I will be watching it.
